Deccan Gladiators 104 for 2 (Kohler-Cadmore 69*) beat Northern Warriors 100 for 6 (Neesham 31, Thushara 4-12) by eight wickets
Rahul Chopra and Neesham then got a few big hits away to drag Warriors to 100 for 6 in ten overs.
Kohler-Cadmore, though, made a mockery of the target. He hacked Mathews for four sixes in the first over of the chase, followed it up by whacking Omarzai for three successive fours, and then hammered Tabraiz Shamsi for one four and three sixes. En route, he brought up his fifty off just 13 balls.
It took Gladiators all of 6.1 overs to chase down the target with Kohler-Cadmore’s strike rate a barely believable 363.15, with four fours and eight sixes.

Captain Moeen Ali and Najibullah Zadran provided the finishing touches, taking Samp Army home with ten balls to spare.
Gurbaz, Smith and Narine keep Team Abu Dhabi waiting for victory
New York Strikers 110 for 5 (Gurbaz 41, Waseem 23, Smith 17*, Noor 3-23) beat Team Abu Dhabi 85 for 5 (Asif 39, Mayers 22, Narine 2-16) by 24 runs
Gurbaz and Waseem put on a 62-run opening stand to give Strikers a strong start. Waseem made 23 off 14 before picking out square leg off Noor Ahmad.
That triggered a slide of five wickets for 27 runs but Smith (17* off 7) and Kieron Pollard (8* off 4), captaining in Nicholas Pooran’s absence, ensured a powerful finish for Strikers.
The West Indies spin duo of Narine and Akeal Hosein then put more pressure on Abu Dhabi. Hosein and Mohammad Amir bowled a tight first two overs before Narine removed Tom Banton and Leus de Plooy in a double-wicket maiden.
Hosein got rid of Abu Dhabi impact sub Colin Ingram for a first-ball duck in the next over to consolidate Strikers’ grip on the match. Kyle Mayers and UAE’s Asif Khan put on a 51-run stand to try and revive Abu Dhabi, but the asking rate continued to soar.
Mayers was run out in the seventh over and Muhammad Jawadullah dismissed Asif in the ninth to effectively finish the game off.
